Pocket for Android
This is a kind of app smartphone users use most frequently. And Pocket serves all kind of relevant needs, efficiently and accurately. I have been taking backup in my tab, phone and earlier phones; and every time it was a success when I switch. I love the the dropbox sync feature, it is secured and encrypted too. The only thing I would like them to add is - having an image field so that I can keep the scan copy of my passport or credit card, if required.
I just came by to check on some syncing features and thought I should finally leave a review. I have been using pocket for years on my phone (Galaxy S2) and tablet (Android Acer) and now also on the desktop. It really helps me keeping track of all my passwords and other security information. The syncing between devices via dropbox is excellent and makes sure that I always have access to the info I need. Thank you!
If I could have only one app on my phone this would be the one!! I have it synced to all my computers, tablets and phones. Never again worry about remembering a password or important information. Allows me never to duplicate passwords which is much more safer. Only wish there was an app for Ipad.
But, recent problems have prompted me to seek an alternative. I have now bought "Safe In Cloud" as a replacement, if you export from pocket as an un encrypted xml file, Safe in Cloud can import it directly into the desktop app and all your details transfer seamlessly.
Overall, decent program to securely encrypt your sensitive info. Could use a little work. Good little program, generally works as advertised. Dropbox synch is good, now that it works. Would like to see synch with other Cloud Services, especially Google Drive. 5 stars if we were able to create sub-groups within the Categories as well as jpg import for custom icons.
Super handy! I like to change my passwords often, and keep them as unique as possible. In addition, I've been responsible for other people's passwords as well. With the Dropbox sync, I have access across devices, and use the pc version as well. No matter where I am, I have instant access to all the passwords. This app has been a reliable and consistent companion for me since at least 2012.
Been using this app for a few years now since Android Jellybean and it has never let me down. Syncs via Dropbox for backup, but lately on Android 6.0 have found that it doesn't always sync automatic with my dropbox anymore. Simple programme which meets my needs, very much like the one touch copy and paste. Desktop version works well (Windows 8.1 and Windows 10), but doesn't sync with anything on the Windows platform. Also now works on my Chromebook (Acer R11) and syncs as well!!! A little worried about the future of this app since there hasn't been any updates since 2013, looks like the programme team have moved onto other projects, but hopefully will update when necessary or buggy. Would like to see the option to sync with other cloud services like Google Drive or OneDrive. Keep up the good work
I have not been able to find free any app that compares, and the paid ones all require a subscription! Cmon, I'm willing to pay if its worth it, but only once, and this one is free (with an inapp purchase to remove ads if you want)
It automatically backs up data to SD card and DropBox. So if anything happen with your phone and you have to get new one, just install Pocket, download data and continue as nothing happened. It has very nice interface to organize various data which is easily and quickly available when needed.
This last version says it fixed Dropbox syncing, but I get the same "sync failed" when trying to sync. Exporting to SD card doesn't work either. Tried to export in different folders, and the file is nowhere to be found on the SD card inserted in the new phone. Samsung Galaxy S2 to S4. Otherwise, very useful app.
My favourite e-wallet. My only problem with it is in editing long text fields such as addresses and notes. It does not allow carriage returns and this makes such editing a pain. I would also like to have a dark theme - white text on a black background.
This one was my favorite password keeper but just was. There is no real upgrade for years the interface looked nice but now just some of vintage. There are no XHDPI resources so the app UI looks very blurry on current devices. Wallbase has nice fresh interface but here is nothing about Holo. Support simple not answer for my questions. Sync features not offer all current possibilities. I bought it long time before but even there are no new version for separate new cost. So seems the product is almost dead.
I love this app! It has helped me out so many times. Awesome job everyone! I can store anything I want & no one can get into it, fantastic job! Ok, so unfortunately I have to say I did have an issue with this app (1st on ever!) I recently had to do a factory reset & believing everything was backed up & it wasn't! I totally lost everything! I have been lost without my information. Now I'm having to redo everything, which sucks but it is well worth the time. Alleycat6311 Samsung S5
Below is what I wrote few days before and put a one star review. and now the link for windows exe file alive again. So I revise my review to four Star. this app is easy use for sure. ================ Stay away from this developer.----- I has been using this app for years, because it used have both windows desktop and android version. then a few days ago, I reinstalled my windows PC, when trying to put the App back to my PC, I realised the desktop app link is expired and no more support, with no explanation and response. so now I can only use the Android version. further more, I am now worrying someday if I replace my Cell phone, and the Android App will gone without warning. at that situation, what can I do? just lost all my hundreds of accounts? So, seriously, you have to trust some big company for storing such an important data.
Saves anything you need with great encryption. With only one password to remember you can make your passwords more complex. Would be cool if it used the fingerprint reader for added security. However it has now fallen behind the times as password managers have gotten much more advanced.
Hi, I have downloaded pocket on my device as well as on my pc, now i wanna use my data of phone on pc as it is more convenient to use..but i am nt able to start with my pc pocket application becoz t is asking to load a file from pc...wherein i dont want to sync to dropbox. i have exported file to sd card,,but still am nt at all able to use pc application..please guide me on the same..
I was using this app since a long time. recently my HDFC bank credit card was charged with multiple online transactions done by some one fraud. my credit card data was theft. i have never shared data anywhere else except at here. i am not sure that it was stolen from here and i don't blame. i lost Rs.85000/- and i am struggling with my bank for refund. i just advice all users to think twice before saving your credit card details anywhere.
I have used this app since I believe, when it first came out. I'm buying the Pro which is nothing different just so Tim Clark can continue with his apps. I also like colors. Great job with this one. It holds my life.
Updating my review to say this is still the best password app out there. 3 years and 4 phones later I haven't had one issue with this app! If you root your phone or get a new phone frequently you can't go wrong with this app.
Too bad it's not being updated. It is a great app to keep your passwords handy. I also use the PC application synced with Dropbox but it doesn't seem to work anymore... I still give it 5 stars.
This was recommended to me by my sister & I love it. I downloaded it on my android phone & all went well! Until I got a iPhone.....Pocket is NOT in the Apple store! So after about 2 hours trying to find something similar to Pocket it dawned on me! I downloaded it on my tablet! I now use it there to save all my passwords!!!! Problem solved!
Easy to use and quick interface. Customizable. Quick to reference anytime on the go. Secure. Prompt to dload updated data if spouse updates it too. Update - 12/1/13 - After years of my wife & i using it seamlessley on many different Androids and our laptops, we are forced to moved to LastPass as we are going IOS. Thank you for the export functionality which i just found out existed. Nice job devs!!
Love the app, have been using it on my android for a couple years now! But it's difficult for the non-technical person to get it functional on the desktop pc. And when will this app be available on iOS??
Latest version of either the app or the OS it steals the focus when it locks. This used to happen in the background but now it switches to the app just so it can lock. Besides that, 5 stars
After 2 min timeout the sop should lock in the background...but it suddenly imposes itself on the screen from the background and shows the enter password screen I can't see any good reason for this
Tried many others and they failed. This is the only password keeping app to have. Simple. I have switched three phones and all my backed up data automatically restored with no issues what so ever at all on the new device. Wish they had Google sync instead of drop box cause that's the only reason I still have a drop box account and app on my phone is for the backup of data. When they get Google sync it will be even better.
I have been using this application for some time on my smartphone but can't get it to sync with my Dropbox account now. Will have to uninstall soon, regretfully
Suddenly it works again across my PC, Tablet and Phone, using Dropbox for synchronization. It is the perfect app for securing login details and private data. I use Simplenote for non-encrypted things to retain. I use Keep for incomplete / working things, deleting or transferring to Simplenotes when finished. Everything / everywhere!
In the past this was my go to app. Liked everything about it. Since 4.4.2 Kitkat had sync problems they are fixed 5 Star great app
Have been using this app for some time now and delighted to see it is now being developed and updated. It's a great saviour for those with 'senior' memories, easy to use, and gives peace of mind about all those fiddly details when out and about and on the move!
I have used this program forever and it works well for what it does. But other password managers offer more features and options. The interface looks dated as well. As much as I hate to..I'll be looking for another password manager.
Works perfectly. Been using since 2012 uninterrupted. Never a problem and sync with drop box is easy breezy. Change a password on a site for security, change the info in "pocket" and you never have to wonder or waste time trying to figure out the password ever again. This is a must have applied for everyone!
I have been using Pocket for years and love it. This allows me to use have all my passwords and other sensitive data all in one spot. It is password protected so no one can steal your info if you lose your phone. I use the option to back up to Dropbox which I recommend. I got a new phone and synced it from Dropbox and within seconds have all my data transferred. Very easy to use. I use the copy and paste feature all the time when using a credit card and for passwords.
A recent update to this makes the app steal focus when it locks. It's super annoying to be using a different app and have Pocket pop open just to lock. Please set that to background. I would like a way to remove ads. I'm not comfortable seeing ads inside a supposedly secure app. I wonder if my user data is actually secure when the ads are shown while I retrieve my passwords.
I would pay dearly for this app. The desktop app, dropbox integration, and encryption are exactly what I need to keep all my sensitive info handy at all times. Thanks!!! My only suggestion is to disable the auto-lock timer when I'm actively using the app. I hate when I'm writing a long note and the timer runs out before I click save, causing me to lose everything.
Useful app when you can't trust your memory to recall all the different password for all your online accounts. I stored even my locker combination lock numbers in it. Update: (10/25/14) Ran in to trouble lately, after I setup Dropbox sync, I could longer login to Pocket anymore... "encryption/decription problem" pops up. Uninstalled and reinstalled then set it up by sync-ing it with dropbox - problem solved, no data lost. What a reliable App.
Those two things don't often go together, but they do in this app. I don't know what I would do without it except keep small pieces of easily misplaced scraps of paper in my wallet and hope I don't lose it. The app is user friendly and configures easily to store whatever data you want to keep. I have yet to find a similar app that functions as well for my girlfriend's iPhone. I also thank the developer for introducing me to dropbox as well. I like that all my data can be synced across my devices.
Suddenly it doesn't recognize my password so it keeps telling me that I input incorrect password while THAT IS THE PASSWORD!
If there was an option to add photos/files to an entry, this would be the perfect app for storing personal info. I have had this app for years, since it went by "Wallet". The Dev actually seems to listen to users and update the app periodically. It just keeps getting better and I hope we can get the option for adding photos one day.

I have been using this password vault for a few years now. It does what it's supposed to do very easy, clean and simple. Only real complaint I have is that if I don't close down this program after done using it, it will make my phone hot. I had some virus / cleaner / battery manager apps installed and (i can't remember which one) they would see that this program is heating up the phone. Would then have to go in and close out the program. Not in the device / app management area, just in the "running" apps.
